Comment: I had very severe Rosacea for several years prior to taking Oracea. I tried every cream, gel and antibiotic available. Since taking Oracea, my skin has cleared and I have not had any breakouts. I would highly recommend Oracea.

Comment: I've been taking this for over five years and it's been extremely effective in keeping the Rosacea pustules under control. Whenever I've tried to reduce the dose, the pustules return. The only inconvenience I've had is the time restrictions for eating, but that is minor.

I cannot find any information on long term affects. I have not had any problems. The insurance company does not classify Oracea as a maintenance drug, which is interesting since Rosacea is incurable.Hide Full Comment

Comment:This pill worked like magic for me. I had pretty bad acne and redness from my rosacea before taking it and within a week my face had cleared up about 80%. Its about 5 months later now and my face has never been so clear. I occasionally get some redness, however I have not had any acne since taking it. I would also recommend oracea over generic doxycycline because with the generic I would often get nauseous and throw up shortly after taking the pill, however with oracea I have not had any discomfort at all. Plus, with insurance the price is about 40$ a month, which to me is worth having near perfect skin and zero side effects. Hide Full Comment

Comment: Oracea works for me ... I t cleared my face in a week ( I use together with Finacea)
My only concern that As soon as I try to lower the dose ( at least 3 times per week), all my bumps and pimples return ... Looks like I have to take it as alon as Ican afford it :)
